    Cardio right after working out???

    Alrite simple question, i have my pre work out meal, just some carbs to get through the workout. Then after the workout my stomach is pretty much empty so its ideal for cardio time. Do i go do cardio right after without taking in protien to maxmize fat burning during cardio, and i plan on doing 45-60 min of cardio. Or do i take in some protien becuase i just finished my workout. Dont know if holding off on the protein for 45-60 min while doing cardio will hurt my muscles.

    No protein till after cardio. If you drink your shake and then do cardio, your body will use the easiest form of energy for fuel, which is going to be the shake you just ate. Save the shake till after cardio to maximize your bodies fat burning abilities. Also make sure you do low intensity cardio so you burn stored fat not muscle.
